This isn't one of those models where you have to twist the little red lock at the center of the hub, but is fully automatic, vacuum motor, or servo which apparently has it's lines fallen off or the electrics have a blown fuse. it's time for you to be a sherlock holmes and take a looksee to find out which mechanism engages the rear wheels, certainly I can do this for you, but tell us a story as we get paid nothing.

alright, here's the right answer. a vacuum line become diconnected, here's a snip from a thread I was reseaching;The vacuum line to the 4wd acuator had come off. I'm guessing thats the problem with yours. It;s been 10 years since I helped him fix it so I can;t even begin to tell you where to find the acuator.

could take it a step further and try to find where this actuator is, but you're the one with the buggy that needs mendin', I'm just a guy wno sometimes knows where to find the right answer on the WWW, that doesn't make me a GURU more of a trained monkey-

You missunderstand. The entire
system has been replaced. Its not a
vacuum set up anymore. Its
mechanical. I've been asking around
and the general idea is one of two
possibilities ... 1 the transfer case is
about dead or 2 the previous owner
welded the lockers in order to have
permanent 4x4. I know he was
going for a rock Crawler set up so
I'm leaning that way. What are your
thoughts on these two possibilities?

this is a common complaint and commom problem , when your in 4wheel drive you must stop to dis enguage it and also move your vehicle in reverse for approximately 10ft and then back to drive and it will dis enguage . its commom even for a shift on the fly vehicle, you will see these instructions either in yoour hand book (owners manual) or on the visor of the vehicle .

I drive a 96 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.9L, and every time i use four wheel drive, it seems to loudly vibrate and sound horrible, any ideas? Also, gears do not shift while in four high, but they shift in 2 ...
